Police Story: "Utah police have released body-camera footage showing a Feb. 12 incident in which a 4-year-old shot at police officers at a McDonald's drive-thru in Midvale."

skipping down...

A preliminary investigation indicated that the 27-year-old instructed his child to shoot at officers, police said.

Court records obtained by FOX 13 revealed that the child shot at officers because "he wanted his daddy back."

"To have an adult think it is okay to encourage a [4]-year-old to pull a firearm and shoot at police illustrates how out of hand the campaign against police has gotten," Sheriff Rosie Rivera said in a February statement after the incident."

Vos says former President Trump called him last week in another push to decertify 2020 presidential results

“Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social, "Looks like Speaker Robin Vos, a long time professional RINO always looking to guard his flank, will be doing nothing about the amazing Wisconsin Supreme Court decision. Trump continued saying, "The Democrats would like to sincerely thank Robin, and all of his fellow RINOs, for letting them get away with 'murder.'"“

Trump just keeps digging.

He engaged the shooter first time from 40 yards away, with a hand gun.
He was remarkably poised for such a chaotic situation. Fired 10 rounds, and hit on 8. Was able to carry because of the recent supremes decision.
I hope he has thick skin. He's a Christian, a conservative, and is pretty handy with a firearm. Saved many lives that terrible day.
The left is upset at him, of course.

Have you ever thought about doing a video timelapse of these?

I’m so glad you capture the sunrise every morning, Althouse.
If anyone ever needed proof of the glory of the Creator… it’s breathtaking.

Bumble Bee: that’s lady comment translated from German.
It doesn’t leave me feeling so good.

Yes. I keep meaning to. Have a portable tripod.

Merriam-Webster is at it again, redefining words based on Democratic political needs. This time "female."

Is 'misogyny' still a good word? Doesn't that imply some kind of specific gendered plumbing?

Narr said...

Time-lapse? Another of Prof's vortexes. Vortices. Spellcheck accepts both.

Since we were talking about books, and cars, I guess I should mention that I spent, and continue to spend, a lot of time and effort moving books in my own car, or sometimes a truck when I was still working. And the biggest part of the non-furniture stuff we had to move when we bought this place was my (and wife's, fewer) books. At least twenty carloads by the time it was done.

As for highway driving, I'm a master if I say so myself. I'm especially aware of the limitations and requirements of big-rigs when it comes to hills and merges, and give them plenty of room.

Merriam-Webster's run by woketards.

The pro-aborts are upset because they like to regard a fetus as a parasite. Their argument depends on a fetus being a parasite. But a parasite must, by definition, be a different species from the host. Any biology textbook says the same thing, and the reason is obvious: If the term "parasite" includes an unborn offspring, the term has been defined beyond all usefulness.

Nearly every dictionary you can find defines the term "parasite" as an organism of a different species than the host.

Except for Merriam-Webster. They're the outlier.

But it wasn't always so. Do a Web Archive search on the definition URL and you can see they changed the definition in Merriam-Webster a few years back, and removed the essential requirement that a parasite must be of a different species than the host. I dug into it myself to disprove another woketard.

No one else did that, and usage hasn't changed among biologists and the informed. It's the same woketard scum who are manipulating the definition of "woman" and, as I gather, a bunch of other words as well, to suit the woketard agenda.

@Tim in Vermont

I believe the new definition of female is “having a gender identity that is the opposite of male.”

So if I look up the definition of male, is it “having a gender identity that is the opposite of female?”

Yin: not Yang.

Yang: not Yin.

As sympathetic as I am to a good conspiracy theory, when they told me 20 years ago that one day our language would be meaningless, I thought they were nuts. Now I'm like brother, can you spare a square of tinfoil about the size of my skull?

Gosh - I hope we are not getting bs from the Greenwood Police Chief. First, he said our Good Samaritan took two minutes time to fire shots starting at more than 30 yards away, while closing in on the shooter, and simultaneously directing food court occupants to move out of danger. Chief Cop said he made a mistake reading his notes so:

Suddenly, the story changed to fifteen seconds for Samaritan to fire 10 rounds from his 9mm Glock, hitting the shooter with his first shot almost immediately from 40 yards after the guy exited the restroom to begin killing. So in fifteen seconds, the shooter killed three and wounded two while trying to find cover from the pistol shots and went down with 8 pistol rounds striking him. Both men with guns did miraculous things in 15 seconds.

At my PCP visit yesterday the good doctor has done some investigating and discovered a previously unreported common denominator amongst the latest batch of maniacal shooters- they all used lots of weed…

"North Carolinians for Immigration Reform and Enforcement (NCFire.info). Here's NCFire's list of illegal immigrant child rapists in North Carolina, so far this year. 2022 Monthly Child Rapes by Illegal Aliens:

6. June 2022: 20 illegal aliens arrested for 42 child rape/child sexual assault charges

5. May 2022: 18 illegal aliens arrested for 42 child rape/child sexual assault charges

4. April 2022: 19 illegal aliens arrested for 72 child rape/child sexual assault charges

3. March 2022: 30 illegal aliens arrested for 110 child rape/child sexual assault charges

2. February 2022: 27 illegal aliens arrested for 84 child rape/child sexual assault charges

1. January 2022: 18 illegal aliens arrested for 96 child rape/child sexual assault charges

Again, that's only in a single state. And only when the immigrant is illegal.

WHY DOESN'T THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT THIS?"

Mystery solved: DOJ secretly thwarted release of Russia documents declassified by Trump

“For four years they lied, leaked, spied on, and smeared President Trump in their attempts to defy the will of the people,” she said. “This is further proof of the depths they will go to hide their corruption. It is far past time for transparency of one of the biggest political scandals in American history.”
"DOJ "did the runaround to try to protect themselves from being exposed, because the documents, to be clear, relate to the improper targeting of Trump and his associates that we know is based on politics and animus as opposed to national security or anything substantive,"

Shhh. People that know what they are talking about are talking. Pay attention. You might learn something useful.

"I’m so glad you capture the sunrise every morning, Althouse." I think it was Hemmingway that bragged that he had witnessed every sunrise of his life. Having looked it up he was determined to have died at 7:30 AM. So maybe he was watching the sunrise at the time.

I think it is hilarious that Progressive Sanctuary City, NYC Mayor Adams, is upset that he is seeing an uptick in illegals. It wasn't a secret (although Biden shipped them up there in the middle of the night, but the NY Post has been ON IT) yet he is blaming TEXAS for busing them up. Texas didn't bus them to NYC. They bused them to DC for BIDEN and his Progressives who want them in America. Of Course DC Mayor is bitching about them too...but that's another Sanctuary city. WHY should Texas small towns have to deal with Joes mess. They should ship them to Martha's Vineyard, and San Francisco....Napa Valley too. Let the Progressives deal with the mess they made. This is on them. (I live in a Sanctuary State....They should be sent here, too. Let the Progressive Governor deal with them) https://nypost.com/2022/07/20/mayor-adams-wake-up-on-migrant-flights/

Heat emergency. Everybody is at the top of the "Crazy Hot Matrix" right now.

Call or look in on somebody you don't care about to find out if they are alright.

wendybar said...

Why do Progressives continue to love to get lied to?? The Border is wide open. 2 million new illegals roaming around America, unvaccinated and unvetted. This will NOT end well. This administration does NOTHING but lie to us.

I see our Hopeless gadfly, self-proclaimed "principled conservative" (wink wink) is clearly going to replicate his/her/xer's hilarious pro-dem/far left Rittenhouse case performance.

Which, incidentally, continues to this very day despite the trial having exposed every single gadfly/dem talking point as a lie. Without exception.

My favorite gadly/dem narrative lie from the Rittenhouse case will forever be the "he crossed our Sacred State lines" schtick!

Classic.

She Spent a Decade Writing Fake Russian History. Wikipedia Just Noticed.

They might be more interesting than the real history and might make a good miniseries.

The OED begins its explanation of parasite with the 'moral' sense i.e. someone who lives at the expense of someone else and then proceeds to the biological sense i.e. something of a different species living at the expense of another. 'It's the habit of a flatterer and parasite to live off another's plenty.'

The word ought to be more in use in these days of political and social decadence e.g. 'a parasite of JRB, his son Hunter'.
